Love......?

Love.

A word I’m not quite sure the meaning of

A word I long to learn to know

People everywhere talk about the meaning, but what does it mean to me?

I long to feel love

What it must feel like

Is it as great as everyone says?

I may not know what love is, but I know what love isn’t.

Love is not abuse

Love is not neglect

Love is not hurtful

Love is supposed to be kind, nurturing, and pure.

What I know about love is what I have observed from others.

I want to know love for myself

I may not know it now, but one day I hope to know the feeling

Until then I will hang on to the hope that there is love out there somewhere.
